More on supported scenarios -
As an example of the "Supported Scenario" idea is
this:
The Redhat 7.1 Linux installer gives you the
following choices:
Workstation
Server
Laptop
Custom System
It also allows you to choose your firewall
settings.
Of coursed, depending upon what you select, the
installer will place different components onto your system. A list of supported
scenarios would also helps to limit the scope of customer support. When
contacting redhat for support, I would imagine that the first thing they ask you
is which sku you selected.
These represent what most people will be interested
in over the next year or so. Supporting just this set would help to limit the
scope of SELinux, and the amount of work that the dev's need to do. I dont know
if there is an installer for SELinux (just finished the redhat install at last
night) but if would be convienent if there was an install had a selection
menu like the above list. Has anyone considered wraping selinux into an rpm
package?
Transactions on Software Engineering (Dec
1998, V24, N12) This is a special issue on the topic of using scenarios to
determine requirements.
